   Perhaps one of the best games I have ever played. Although its in NY and has similar game mechanics as Spiderman, it make Spiderman look like dirt. Graphics are just detailed enough so it looks good but doesn't destroy frame rate on a 8800gt. I get 45+ fps with like 60+ characters on the screen and the entire city of of NY. with choppers flying around and explosions going off.… Expand

   Story is great with some nice twists waiting to be uncovered. Gameplay is great as well, with your main guy able to leap across buildings and transform into a bunch of different forms and use disguises. Controls will take some time to get use to when climbing buildings etc. And the target locking can get annoying at times. Graphics are solid, but it does need a bit more color. The city is infested and everything but some times it looks like a ps2 game, needs more rich colors. Sound is great, with explosions and voice acting. Know that the game has a save feature but no autosave or checkpoint to go back to AFTER you quit the game. It'll only return to the point where you saved, so if the game crash or freeze for w/e reason then you will have to do the entire missions over... So Overall, Great game but a few things keeping it from a great experience. Its like a mirror's edge meets prince of persia meets gta sandbox style.… Expand

   Brilliant game if you want to hack and slash everything. But there's so much more that could have been done in regards to story line. You have a whole free roam city similar to say Grand Theft Auto 4, yet so many people wandering around minding their own business while the military and zombies etc. are running riot. Makes no sense! Hundreds of taxis all parked up in the middle of infected zones, half of them with inanimate people at the wheel. Still, makes no sense! You can pick up cars, and still the people in those cars don't seem to care. The playability isn't too great. I enjoyed the game the first time though, was given the ability to start a new game with all my powers, but just couldn't find a reason to start the game again. Brilliant graphics, brilliant concept, but I think GTA 4 has already set a bench mark for free roam cities. Unless this can be matched, or topped, along with the concept of Prototype, I'm simply not satisfied.… Expand

   This game is rated much higher than it should be, thanks in part due to the overwhelming number of good reviews that obscure sites gave. Ever play one of those games made to go along with a popular movie? I couldn't help but think Spiderman, as the game engine seems identical with mild graphic updates. Yeah you got super transforma-ninja powers but cool fighting moves don't equal a great game. The story is blurry at best, controlling with a keyboard and mouse is annoying, and the gameplay itself just feels like a killfest. If you absolutely love mindless, zombie-killing games then get this...AFTER it goes down in price in a few months.… Expand
